S2 E12 #CaptainSvetlana drags the anchor

The strong winds are here. Thankfully the engine is fixed or we could be in real trouble.

With our anchor dragging (again) we make the decision that we need to replace it.

Easter holidays and a work trip to the UK make ordering and fitting an issue but what a difference!
